Island of Happiness

I am so happy!!! I just got "Harvest Moon Island of Happiness" for my birthday!!!
I couldn't find a guide that could hep me get Vaughn so I decided to make one! (p.s. this will be edited depending on my process)

Getting Vaughn

Step One: Get Fishing Pole

First you must get the fishing pole from Taro. To do this you must give him a present every day (excluding the day you meet him) so I gave him a colored grass (or if you can a vegetable) every day. He won't except more than one a day. Also talk to him 2-3 times a day. Eventually ( I got it on Spring 10th or 11th) he will give it to you (and a free lesson!) Step One is now done!

Step Two: Getting Denny

For Vaughn's heart event, you need Denny (as in most of his events) so you need to catch 50 fish A.S.A.P. , I started by catching 10 fish a day (*note: you don't have to catch fish, fish bones and garbage you get from fishing count too!) So... you SHOULD get Vaughn the day before Denny (If you ship 50 fish by then) but he won't stay till Wednesday. So now you have Denny (*Bachelor) and Vaughn (*Bachelor) . Good Luck!

Step Three:

Sadly now, you basically only have one or two things that he likes, but it takes a LONG time with them.
*Chocolate, Eggs,(and Shitake Mushrooms in the Fall)- 1 WHOLE YEAR JUST TO GET A PURPLE!!!

*TIP: In the Fall save ALL of the Shitake Mushrooms you can get your hands on. DON"T SELL ANY AND THEY SHOULD LAST YOU ALL WINTER*

And until you get a cow, it literally takes FOREVER to get his affection points up.

Here are how much each gift is worth in AP points for Vaughn (from fogu.com)
